Changing Of The Guard
After 17 years as the Field Commissioner for the Monday/Thursday group of LVSSA players, Russ Curtis is putting down his erasable marker and resigning. Russ took over for Dave Barnes as Field Commissioner in 2007. For the next 17 years, in the dark, in the cold or in the heat, Russ would arrive at Lorenzi Park very early in the morning before anyone else was there. Russ, along with longtime assistant, Bobby Rink, brought the equipment from the shed to the field. Russ not only prepped fields, but he also made up the scrimmage teams as equally as possible.
I asked Russ about his time as Field Commissioner. He said, " It went by fast."
Russ is handing his erasable marker and Field Commissioner duties over to me, MLK. I made up the teams this past Monday which ended in a 10 run blowout loss. I got one stinky nose from Flanman 😁.
On behalf of the entire LVSSA, we express our gratitude to you.
MLK
